There will supposedly be a brand-new 2024 Ford Maverick Lightning. It is a more powerful and opulent all-electric model. Thanks to its reasonable pricing and effective hybrid powertrain, this little pickup truck quickly gained huge popularity. The introduction of a totally electric version is now the right thing to do.
It’s fantastic to know that Blue Oval has already applied for a trademark for the term Maverick Lightning. Naturally, we anticipate a system similar to that found in the F-150 Lightning truck. However, some parts will be completely new, so Maverick Lightning will be a distinctive model and not a smaller F-150 Lightning. The sales will reportedly begin next year, and this is what we know about this electric pickup so far.
Ford Maverick Lightning Specs, Platform
Like the F-150 Lightning, the 2024 Ford Maverick Lightning is an all-electric pickup. It’s interesting to note that Maverick offers a base C2 platform-based hybrid powertrain. The totally electric version could now use a new architecture. However, because of the C2 platform’s high adaptability, modifying the current chassis is a reasonable thing to do. In any case, Maverick Lightning’s base configuration will only feature one motor.
For example, the standard Mustang Mach-E crossover has 265 horsepower from its single-motor configuration. In more premium models, a dual-motor setup is anticipated, offering even more power and a regular AWD system. Last but not least, a smaller pickup will easily offer a driving range of at least 300 miles. Additionally, Blue Oval will undoubtedly include a 150-kW charging system. More details will become available by the end of the year.
Interior Features
Maverick is a reasonably priced pickup, and its cabin is extremely nice. According to reports, the new 2024 Ford Maverick Lightning would offer more luxury. A standard 8-inch infotainment touchscreen is one of the many user-friendly high-tech amenities offered in the current version’s very functional interior. The tech in this EV will advance just like in any other electric model.
A larger screen and Ford’s new Blue Cruise hands-free system will probably be available. The trim levels are unknown to us, but Maverick Lightning will undoubtedly offer a great level of comfort in any trim level. For a tiny truck, the cargo space is outstanding, and the EV version will increase that room.
Styling
The styling of the 2024 Ford Maverick Lightning will slightly depart from the original variant. On top of that, some parts will be exactly the same as on the Ford F-150 Lightning truck. Still, we expect to see a distinctive model with lots of luxury. The electric variant will look very modern, according to the latest renderings. Blue Oval will probably deliver new wheels and a new lighting system.
Furthermore, the front fascia will sport a closed-off grille and we also hope to see new exterior colors. However, paints such as Velocity Blue or Area 51 will probably remain on offer. We are waiting to see if the Maverick Lightning will get a completely new platform. If not, then this electric Maverick pickup will be around 200 inches long and it will provide a 120-inch long wheelbase.
2024 Ford Maverick Lightning Price, Release Date
The upcoming 2024 Ford Maverick Lightning will go on sale at some point next year. Most likely, this electric pickup will arrive in the second half of 2023. The price will start at $30,000 or slightly above that. Still, it is an affordable pickup with so much to offer.
